The United Naan Roti Association has rejected government-set prices, citing soaring flour and fuel costs that make operating at the set rates challenging. Association President Aftab Aslam Gul explained that the Food Department used to provide subsidized flour, enabling tandoor owners to sell roti at government-determined prices. He noted that a 10-kilogram bag of flour cost Rs. 1,100 previously, whereas now it is Rs. 2,350 for a 15-kilogram bag. Gul highlighted that increasing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices have further escalated operating expenses.
